management ola celebration, and IL
insistence upon the necessity of havinJ
the matter undertaken at once by som,

8 the common judgment was 80 heartily
in favor Of having the Post take charge
OF it. that at their meeting Saturday
!. night they decided to do 80, and W,
/, now have the great pleasure of an
nouncing that the One Hundred anC
Eleventh Anniversary of the Ipde
Il pendence of the United States will b<
celebrated atIo,a in the highest style Of
8 the art under the auspices of McCooh
Post. Il. A. r. A committee consist
ing of DR.. J. w. Scott, w. J. Ihrig
John Walters, T. s. Slower and 8. Mo
Claren, was appointed as executive
8 committee. They have already secured
subscriptions to the amount If $29l SO
with the promise of more if it is needed
! and have telegraphed for prominent
speakers. Further announcement need
not be made now. The fact that the
celebration is under the auspices OF
McCOok Post and in charge of the
cOmmittee above named, is sufficient
assurance that that it will be a brilliant
success.
Il We understand that Prof. Olin has
the offer of a professorship in one OF
the leading educational institutions of
the State, and that if certain details
can be arranged to his satisfaction he
will accept it. While rejoicing in the
Professors call to come up higher, we
cannot but sincerely regret his loss to
our schools. For the past four years
he has held the position ..of principal
here. vnd under his conduct the schools
have steadily advanced until they are
not excelled, if indeed they are equalled
by the public schools of any other CITY
in the State. 1t will be difficult to
supply his place.
Some one who is evidently tired of
asking other people how hot it is, stole
the thermometer from in frsnt of Scott
& Sons drug store Monday night.
This Is the third thermometer this
firm has had stolen within a short
time. They say they don't wish the
parties who took them any particular
harm, but they feel it their duty to
warn them that if they don't mend
their ways they will fetch up some
time in place where they will not be
able to measure the heat with their
little stolen thermometers.
From our friend Doc. Wilmington,
of Kincaid, who was in town Wednes-
day, we learn that the X. c. and Pa
cific road is going to make another
effort to get bonds voted in Usage
township. The proposition now is to
have bonds voted to the amount of
ST., 800 and petitions are being circula-
ted to have an election called. Mr..
Wilmington thinks the result is likely
to be the same as in the last two cleo.
tions.
We are told that the public senti-
ment against hardness in our city |
High School was SO strong the past
year that when q pupil entered the
room after school was called he was
greeted by his fellow pupils with sup
pressed but distinct groan. 1t is |
doubtless owing to this public senti.
ment that the school made the unpar-
alleled record of but nine tardy marks
during the entire year.
Mrs. Turner's stock of spring and
summer millinery goods is now COM
plete and presents a most attractive
display. Everything is new and, be-
ing bought after personal inspection,
is of the very best style. The stock is
sufficiently large and varied to suit
every taste, and should be examined
before purchases are made elsewhere.
W.C.Thrasher sold Mrs. Weller's farm
just north of town, this week, toa Mrs.
P .Ruble, of Pennsylvania, for s. 900. Mr..

building new barn,

that he will also invest
quite heavily in lola property.
On June Is Of last year the REG1sTERI

We notice that Miss Lillian Bell is !.

honor is one that is eagerly sought, and I
won only by the best students, and 9

achieving it. l.
